Worst Cable Reality Shows

1. Operation Repo

Who wants to see people's cars being taken away? Depressing and trashy!

2. Chopped

Mean, hostile, biased, uses ingredients in the challenges that only maximum-security inmates know how to cook, why bother?

3. Mythbusters

Was very good the first season, then around the second season gave Karrie and the other guys a bigger role and ruined the show. The dynamic was ruined. Also, I can't really buy that the myths are busted because the guys don't put much effort into their projects. Karrie is super-annoying, even if she is pretty.

4. Real Housewives of Anywhere-

All of them are somewhat entertaining for a couple episodes, but banal afterward.

5. Ace of Cakes

Lame and boring.

6. Pawn Stars

Really sleazy. Located in Vegas, people bring in their valuables to be pawned for some money. You feel dirty watching the sleazy owners/employees pay virtually nothing and justify it to people who obviously have serious problems, serious enough to give away extremely valuable memorabilia or antiques for nothing.

7. No Reservations, Anthony Bourdain

Pretentious and self-serving. His ego dwarfs anything else on the show. Loves to go to Southeast Asia a LOT for some reason. I won't speculate.

8. Top Chef

Pulls the "Hell's Kitchen" stunt, which is cast 3 or 4 chefs that have a chance at winning the contest, and cast the rest with folks that don't have a chance. It's cruel, and it's biased. Many of the chefs are obviously well-qualified, but it is clear the Top Chef judges are biased towards a certain style of cooking and style. It really is kind of unfair.

9. MTV's reality shows

For some reason, most are really brain-dead, and always have been. I have nothing more to say.

10. Deadliest Warrior

Really dumb. Ok, let's pit two historical or current warriors against each other, and come to a largely subjective conclusion of which one will win. Normally, this sort of thing excites me, but when it is so illogical that it isn't even cool, that makes me tune out.
